NIS 2012 installation setting question.

Yes, that's no typo I just updated from NIS 2011 to NIS 2012 (no way am I going near 2013 for a long time).

 

Running Win 7 - Pro SP1  x64 and IE 9.

 

After uninstalling NIS 2011, I started with a previously saved NIS 2012 ver 19.8.0.14.  After all set up and reconnected to the internet, the update process gave me 19.9.0.9 and then finally 19.9.1.14.

 

All seems OK, but I noticed when I installed the Norton Tool bar in IE9 that a message came up confirming that I did want to install the Norton Tool bar add-on and it also had pre-checked that I should install the Norton Identity Protection add-on. 

 

Interestingly there was another add-on listed with the option to manually check it called Norton Vulnerability Protection. Since it was not pre-checked and I didn't know what it was for, I didn't check it.

 

In IE9 when I go to Tools>Manage Add-Ons  the 3 add-ons that I mentioned above show there, but as expected Norton Vulnerability Protection show disabled.

 

Can someone tell me what the Norton Vulnerability Protection add-on is for and whether it should be Enabled or Disabled.  I would like to know what it is associated with as I don't use all of NIS default settings.

 

Also wasn't there an add-on for Intrusion Protection with NIS 2011?

 

Thanks
